BMG LABTECH offers high-end plate reader solutions for drug discovery and HTS.
The plate readers provides best sensitivity, best flexibility and reliability. The integration of these microplate readers into robotic systems is easy; especially for the robot integration in high throughput screening (H more

CRISPR/Cas systems are known as promising “gene scissors” in the genome editing of plants, animals, and microorganisms by targeting specific regions in their DNA – and perhaps they can even be used to correct genetic defects. A team of scientists led by Juliane Behler and Prof. Dr. Wolfgang Hess fro more

DNA has often been called "the book of life," but this popular phrase makes some biologists squirm a bit. True, DNA bears our genes, which spell out the instructions our cells use to make proteins -- those workhorse molecules that comprise our physical being and make just about everything in life po more

Gene editing is one of the hottest topics in cancer research. A Chinese research team has now developed a gold-nanoparticle-based multifunctional vehicle to transport the “gene scissors” to the tumor cell genome. As the authors report, their nonviral transport and release platform of gene-editing sy more

With the completion of the human genome sequence, the detailed understanding of gene functions by analyzing the structure, biological activities, and dynamics of the encoded proteins has become the next challenge. The technology of RNA interference ( more

RNA silencing is a mechanism of gene regulation whereby small double-stranded RNAs (dsRNAs) of 21-18 nucleotides in length cause mRNA degradation, mRNA translation, or chromatin modification. In the past years, more than 500 novel genes have been ide more

On the RealTime ready Configurator, we offer function tested human, mouse, and rat qPCR assays for gene expression quantification based on the unique Universal ProbeLibrary technology (UPL). The Universal ProbeLibrary is a set of short hydrolysis pro more

Today’s post crosses over into the realm of biochemistry, with a look at the chemical structure of DNA, and its role in creating proteins in our cells. Of course, it’s not just in humans that DNA is found – it’s present in the cells of every multicellular life form on Earth. This graphic provides an more

SMi Group announces the 9th Annual RNA Therapeutics Conference in London on February 21st - 22nd 2018. As the requirement for targeted solutions for chronic diseases continues to grow, the interest of pharmaceutical and biotech companies has increasingly focused towards RNA therapeutics, such that b

The regulation of the transcriptome is key to cellular processes that underpin cell biology, development and tissue function. All classes of cellular RNA are subject to posttranscriptional modification, be it by direct chemical modification, editing or non-templated nucleotide additions. Furthermore

Despite almost a 70% decrease in the cardiovascular death rate over the past 50 years, heart disease remains the number 1 killer worldwide, claiming over 600,000 lives every year in the U.S. alone (23% of all-cause mortality). The contribution to mortality has remained high as improvements in acute

Antisense transcription can regulate sense gene expression. However, previous annotations of antisense transcription units have been based on detection of mature antisense long noncoding (aslnc)RNAs by RNA-seq and/or microarrays, only giving a partial view of the antisense transcription landscape a more

We previously developed TRIBE, a method for the identification of cell-specific RNA-binding protein targets. TRIBE expresses an RBP of interest fused to the catalytic domain (cd) of the RNA-editing enzyme ADAR and performs adenosine-to-inosine editing on RNA targets of the RBP. However, target iden more

Expression of fission yeast glycerophosphate transporter Tgp1 is repressed in phosphate-rich medium and induced during phosphate starvation. Repression is enforced by transcription of the nc-tgp1 locus upstream of tgp1 to produce a long noncoding (lnc) RNA. Here we identify two essential elements o more
